to Judge Rea of Monday night came
yesterday, and the day was as quiet
one as the Exposition has so far eX-
perienced. In the morning the direct

important to the labor element espe-
clally, as very liberal per
centage of the receipts of Labor

being erected. III. j. Smith. i'm
lengthy communication, reported a
method of saving the receipts of the art
gallery for permanent exhibition, and
1t was referred to the finance committee.
A letter from the Norwegian art
school asked that the Scandinavian col
lection be so placed as to have the west
nght OF the gallery and to have it opened
fourteen days longer. The announce
ment that the women had agreed to give
up having especial day" because they
could get no prominent female orator to
appear makes no difference to the
management, for, as Mr.. Palmer says,
they have appointed Friday, Oct. ia.
for the ladies day. and they will en-
deavor to do all in their power to make
IL as great success as woman's day
last year. To-day is '.old set
tler's" day and the pioneers will
be well taken care of and

and Col. j. H. Stevens will preside i'm
his accustomed genial manner. Thurs
